Of course, you don't have old hardware to deal with.<font color="#888888"></font><br></blockquote><div><br>Your right, I've a 2 year old laptop, with PAE. (I think the Celeron were the last chip to not have PAE..)<br>
<br>Thanks for bringing ArtistX to my attention, I'd only tried 0.7 a couple of years back, and it was already<br>outdated then! But there's a new release, (0.8 :-0 ) which is based on Ubuntu 10 (unlucky there...).<br>
It seems pretty promising, Ill download it over the next days, and hopefully its all good!<br><br>KXStudio is another intresting (Buntu based) distro... Its shipping with LADISH, JACK2, ArdourVST, QTracktorVST etc<br>Really up to date, there's a PPA for Ardour3, Mixxx 1.8, etc <br>
KX does focus on "visual appeal" as well as functionality. Ie: Its probably not *the* fastest system to boot / login.<br>But it sure looks a lot more slick than my bare bones LXDE ;-)<br><br>Cheers, -Harry<br></div>
